New York Homes for Four People

Art & Nature

Cragsmoor, Wawarsing

This home's architecture, interiors and colourful prints all share a mid-century modern style, but its woodland surroundings are more Hansel and Gretel than Gilbert and George. In a tiny hamlet in upstate New York, it’s surrounded by mountains, lakes and forest – great for skiers, hikers and wild swimmers alike.

Loudonville, Colonie

This charming home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, so character comes as standard here. Furnished with antique pieces and an eclectic art collection, it’s a house that’s packed with personality – from the cosy lounge and gourmet kitchen (ideal for entertaining and evenings in), to the chic bedrooms and bathrooms (complete with refined roll-top tubs).

Sunflower Summer

Springs, East Hampton

Look out for artists, poets and musicians in the area around this home – it’s located in Springs, arguably the coolest town in the Hamptons. In the past, it’s played host to visionaries like Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner, Willem de Kooning, Kurt Vonnegut, and John Steinbeck.
